FLASH! Important info received after the deadline

Stand by, “we”, the Jasper Jottings editorial team, will have some interesting news about a new capability in the next two weeks.

The “alpha team” has put it through its paces. I’m working on a FAQ and preloading it for fast approvals.

Go sign up for LinkedIn, if you haven’t already. Connect to me if you want to be a beta tester. (I need some more victims to test the FAQ and functions.)

Earliest Gospels Acquired by Vatican
Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News

*** begin quote ***

March 5, 2007 — The world's oldest known copy of the Gospel of Saint Luke, containing the earliest known Lord's Prayer, and one of the oldest copies of the Gospel of Saint John have been acquired by the Vatican, according to reports from Rome.

A nonsectarian New York nonprofit, Pave the Way, helped facilitate the acquisition.

Now stored in the Vatican's Library, the documents are for the first time available for scholarly review. In the future, excerpts may be put on display for the general public.

*** end quote ***

It must be truly inspiring to see the “original” old anything. It’s hard to imagine anything that is more than a few years old.

Maybe I should dig out my old Thomas’ Calculus book and have it buried with me. Then some one might think I understood it. I certain spent enough time (sleeping) on it.

I’m sure my fellow alum couldn't have had as much “fun” as I did with it and have much better things to represent their accomplishments with.

I know I’ll include a cdrom of Jasper Jottings. That’ll impress a grave robber?

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Theresa M Gatarz, devoted to family, students

LEBANON — Theresa M Gatarz, 50, of Lebanon died Thursday (April 19, 2007) at Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia.

Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of Robert and the late Louise Evans. Terry married Frank Gatarz on July 1, 1978, and spent 28 wonderful years with him. She lived in Hillsborough for 20 years before moving to Lebanon two years ago.

Terry graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Scranton, a Master’s degree in Education from Rutgers University and a Certificate of Administration from Manhattan College.

She was a teacher at the Christ the King School in Manville for many years, the vice principal of Immaculate Conception School in Somerville for three years, and the principal for the George Everitt Academy in Peapack.

Terry’s first passion was always her family, but teaching and educating were a close second. She genuinely enjoyed the students and committed herself to their betterment. During her leisure time, Terry enjoyed reading, old movies and the Jersey shore.

Besides her mother, Louise, who died in 1998, she was predeceased by her brother, Dennis.

Terry is survived by her husband, Frank Gatarz; her sons, Jonathan and Greg; her daughters, Stephanie and Amanda; her father, Robert Evans of Pompano Beach, Fla.; and her two sisters, Deborah Lewis of Port Crane, N.Y., and Susan Sparrock of Aberdeen. She is also survived by her grandchild, Aiden McKenna.

A funeral liturgy will be held 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at Our Lady Of Lourdes Church in Whitehouse Station. Burial will be at Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Annandale. Friends may visit with the family 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Monday at Kearns Funeral Home, 103 Old Highway, Whitehouse.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Our Lady Of Lourdes Education and Youth Faith Foundation, 390 County Road 523, Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889.

Central Hudson Names Assistant Vice President of Engineering and Environmental Services

Last Update: 12:41 PM ET Apr 23, 2007

***Begin Quote***

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., Apr 23, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Paul E. Haering, a veteran engineer with more than 20 years of service and experience, has been appointed Assistant Vice President of Engineering and Environmental Services of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation, a subsidiary of CH Energy Group (CHG). Haering, who was recognized as the firm’s 2006 Manager of the Year for his championing of electric infrastructure investments, vegetation management and other electric service improvement initiatives, will play a key role in assuring that Central Hudson reaches its goal of improving electric reliability during the next five years.

“Paul has been an excellent example of what a ‘can do’ attitude can mean in a large company like ours,” said Carl E. Meyer, President and Chief Operating Officer of Central Hudson. “His work as the Chairman of the Reliability Improvement Program and his dedication to ensuring that our customers receive the best possible service — while shareholders receive the best value for their investment — are just two examples of the determination that earned him this appointment.” Haering will report to Meyer.

Haering joined Central Hudson as a Junior Engineer in Substation Design in 1986. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Manhattan College; earned a master’s degree, also in Electrical Engineering, from Polytechnic University; is a graduate of the GE Power System Engineering Program; and plans on completing his course of study to receive an Executive Master’s in Business Administration from Rensselaer Polytechnic University in May. He and his wife Lisa reside in Pleasant Valley with their two children, Matthew and Michelle.

Hi John,

My grandfather was an alumni of Manhattan, class of 1938. He passed away on March 31, 2007. If you need additional information please let me know. I know the school was having trouble locating the information as I received a voicemail from them yesterday asking for info.

Regards,
Amy

Hi Amy,

I'm just an unofficial reporter of Jasper news. I have no official connection to the College, but I can get the information into the right place. If you feel comfortable with me acting as the intermediary?

I assume that you are McGrath, Amy (2004 Unregistered)? I have you at an AOL address.

Do you have an obit or a url for one? His last name would be a good start. I checked the McGraths and I couldn't find a 1938. I checked the Obits Website but couldn't identify him.

Thanks,
Fjohn68

Hi,

Today I’m turning this space over to Vic Braden for about a story about his family in America and Brooklyn. It is a story of both his and our Nostalgia, Memories and Thoughts of Brooklyn. I believe you will enjoy it.

In 1958 I graduated from Manhattan College and started at NYU law. Papa was not overly pleased with my decision but since the passing of Julius had become a little more flexible. Actually, much more flexible.

Brother William Batt, FSC ’49, a native of Buffalo, New York, received the habit of The Brother William Batt, FSCBrothers of the Christian Schools in 1949 and professed his Perpetual Vows in 1956. Brother began his teaching career at La Salle Academy in Providence, Rhode Island in 1954. A chemistry teacher par excellence, he continued teaching at De La Salle College in Washington, DC – an extension to The Catholic University of America, from 1955 to 1959. He then moved to Manhattan College where he held several posts including that of Director of Admissions. In 2002, Brother Bill came full circle and arrived at St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in Buffalo. St. Joe’s was privileged to have Brother as President from 2002 until 2005, when he then returned to Manhattan College.

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate (M.S.) of The Catholic University of America, Brother also earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry at Georgetown University. He has done post-doctoral work at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, and as a member of the Sigma XI and the Gold Key Society, he won honorable mention for his National Science Foundation pre-doctoral fellowships awarded in 1956, 1957, and 1958. Brother was also a National Institute of Health post-doctoral fellow in 1963-64. The author of several technical papers and publications, most of them based on his work with blood enzymes, Brother has been an eminent scholar all his life, and one who has passed on that enthusiasm for learning to his students.

Curmudgeon's Final Words This Week

Taxation Is Robbery
by Frank Chodorov

*** begin quote ***

This article was originally published in 1947 as a pamphlet from Human Events Associates. It was reprinted in 1962 as chapter 22 of Out of Step: The Autobiography of an Individualist.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica defines taxation as "that part of the revenues of a state which is obtained by the compulsory dues and charges upon its subjects." That is about as concise and accurate as a definition can be; it leaves no room for argument as to what taxation is.

In that statement of fact the word "compulsory" looms large, simply because of its ethical content. The quick reaction is to question the "right" of the state to this use of power. What sanction, in morals, does the state adduce for the taking of property? Is its exercise of sovereignty sufficient unto itself?

*** end quote ***

Ahh, but the gooferment knows better what to do with your money than you do. Why does applying the label “taxes” to the theft makes us no think of it in the same light? After all if it provided services I wanted, why wouldn’t I want to pay for them? No, gooferment is the only entity that can provide me a poor service that I don’t want and force me to pay what it thinks it needs for that “service”.

As supposedly religious people, if God gives man free will to sin, then why should we be different?

An before someone drags out that old tired “social contract” argument, I didn’t sign any such contract.

No only the free market satisfies everyone without force. And, only the free market can address “rationing”.

John’s blog has a great point about Catholic Schools --- http://reinkefj.wordpress.com/2007/04/22/liberty-knock-off-catholic-schools/ --- the Gooferment hates competition.

If you like his ranting. Get an extra dose there. If you don’t, there are other topics covered.

Bottom line: Pay up and shut up. Learn to love your Gooferment. What choice do you have?

And that’s the last word.

Curmudgeon
